Challenge
A 116-bed hospital in the Midwest faced a major challenge in recruiting and retaining specialists, specifically for infectious disease and hematology/oncology.
This impacted the medical team’s ability to provide effective care for higher-acuity patients, resulting in frequent transfers to tertiary centers miles away. The hospital urgently needed a solution to its specialist staffing challenges.
Solution
In 2021, the hospital partnered with AmplifyMD for seamlessly integrated virtual care to quickly and affordably solve its specialist coverage challenges.
Since then, thousands of patients have benefitted from specialist services, and the hospital has seen tremendous benefits, both clinically and financially.
